I deleted a form by accident (a brainless moment, I meant to delete and empty record). I found the “recover deleted items command” but it’s taking forever–I clicked recover, that button is now grayed out, but nothing is happening on the right hand side. There are hundreds of records with many fields, it was the Sales Orders. Can I expect it to eventually work? Are there directions somewhere?
Time Machine was no help.
There’s no “restore” command available–it’s grayed out.
Is there any hope for this?
Also, I can’t find a search box for this forum….
Joanna, the idiot of the day….
The recovery sort of worked, but some important fields are missing, like name and date, so it was close to useless.
But, I located the last backup, opened it, renamed it and dragged it out of the backups folder into the documents folder. I guess I was lucky, there seems to be only one missing record.
I hope I learned my lesson!

Hi Joanna,
The Restore command is enabled when you have the main Database Documents window in the foreground.
I’m glad you found a way to recover your data.
I’m not sure why the forum search disappeared. Must have been due to a WordPress or BBPress update. but I’ve put it back now.
Thank you! I hope I won’t need to know about restoring anytime soon!
